Tokyo
Shibuya's neon, Asakusa's Sensō-ji Temple and the elegant avenues of Ginza: a capital where the future and tradition share the same day.
About Japan
From Tokyo's neon glow to Kyoto's quiet temple gardens, from Mount Fuji's silhouette to canals lined with cherry blossom, Japan is a country of care in every detail.
From the very first day, Japan invites you into a different rhythm. In Tokyo, only a few train stops separate the crowds flowing across Shibuya's famous crossing from the forested calm of Meiji Shrine. Punctual trains, spotless streets and a refined sense of hospitality make every part of the journey easier.
A Japan tour usually combines Tokyo, the Mount Fuji area and Kyoto. You watch Fuji from the shores of Lake Kawaguchi, take the bullet train to Kyoto, walk beneath the thousands of red torii gates at Fushimi Inari and wander Gion's wooden-housed lanes in the late afternoon. Nara's free-roaming deer and Osaka's street food are frequent additions to the route.
The seasons change the Japanese experience noticeably: cherry blossom transforms the landscape in spring, and crimson maples do so in autumn. With a long flight and a six-hour time difference, it is wise to keep the first day light. It is also worth remembering that cash is still common in small businesses, and that shoes come off in many temples and traditional venues.

Must-see highlights
02
Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi
On clear days, the symmetrical peak seen from the lakeshore and Chureito Pagoda is Japan's most recognisable symbol.
03
Fushimi Inari
Trails lined with vermilion torii gates climb the mountainside, and the atmosphere is at its most magical early in the morning.
04
Gion and traditional Kyoto
Wooden teahouses, stone-paved lanes and kimono-clad strollers capture the timeless mood of the old capital.
05
Cherry blossom season
In late March and early April, canals and parks fill with pink and white blossom, and hanami picnics beneath the trees are a cherished local spring tradition.
